From Navasota to New York ;
via automobile with a family
of six is a four day trip. A
single person or a couple
might make it in three, but
with children, large or small,
it is a four day affair. This
means getting up early, get- |
ting off late and making
frequent stops along the way.
By 4 or 4:30 p.m. and 400 or
450 miles later you have had
it, the children have had it
and everyone is unanimous in
his desire to stop for the
night
Good motel accommodations
for the six of us ranged be-
tween $15 and $20 a night
which is somewhat less than
I had anticipated. Gasoline
prices ranged from 28c to 39c
a gallon.
Road map mileage is de-
ceiving. Although correct, it
fails to take into account a
few errors that will be made
in following road signs and
mileage lost getting back on
the right road. It also does
not include interesting side
trips that almost everyone
will make. Our total mileage
was 3,866 rather than the
3,300 that I had figured.
Enroute we enjoyed a visit
to Lookout Mountain at Chat-
tanooga. Tenn., a 200 mile
ride on the Blue Ridge Park-
way and a visit to Harper's
Ferry where the first shots of
Civil War were fired.
Thanks to expressways like
the New Jersey Turnpike the
ride from Baltimore to Man-
hattan, despite heavy traffic
was relatively easy.
It is a little frightening
when you approach the Lin-
coln Tunnel where ten to fif-
teen lanes narrow to two for
the trip under the Hudson
River.

fic is wild: Taxicab and Luck

The doorman spent several
impatient minutes trying to
explain to me where to take

ability I followed his instruc-

Believe me, the lobby of a
New York hotel is a busy
place. The Bell Captain re-

floor of the New York Stock

to get rooms. This was due
